8. Assuming She's Out 'On The Prowl'

Going out with your friends is fun, dancing is fun, and drinking is fun. Although it might not be what you want to hear, the truth is that often these are the most common reasons women will be together on a night out. Sometimes groups of friends will be happy to include you in the party, but be prepared. Chances are that most people won’t be that interested in hanging out with strangers when they’re out to have a laugh with their friends. And if you get the vibe that you’ve interrupted a night that you’re not welcome on (if she’s not continuing the conversation, if she’s more interested in her friends) then just amicably excuse yourself to the bar and carry on with your night. Of course, hooking up is fun too — but just be aware that most people aren’t up all night to get lucky. (Damn Daft Punk, giving us unrealistic expectations of love.)
